Founded in 1959 and named for the nearby Trinity River Trinity Valley School (TVS) is an independent nonsectarian college-preparatory school serving more than 1000 students in PK12th grades on a 75-acre campus in Fort Worth Texas.

Rooted in over 60 years of fine scholarship TVS brings together students who are eager to learn ready to contribute to a diverse and dynamic community and inspired to grow as curious independent thinkers.

Families choose TVS for a warm thoughtfully challenging environment where curiosity grows students are encouraged to dig deeper and learning is active hands-on and driven by discovery. Guided by our four values we create a school experience grounded in meaning and purpose. We pursue fine scholarship in and out of the classroom strengthening skills that serve us everywhere. We develop wide constructive interests expanding our engagement with the world. We practice intelligent citizenship measuring our success by the positive impact we have on the lives of others. We cultivate moral and spiritual development learning that a life means more when it is given to something greater than the self.

At TVS learning is deep and purposeful-woven together with meaningful experiences that broaden perspective and build resilience. Students stretch intellectually explore passions in athletics and the visual and performing arts and engage deeply in outdoor and global education. Along the way they grow as thoughtful learners and compassionate leaders ready to navigate complexity contribute to their communities and lead with empathy and integrity.

Faculty and Coaching

We recruit and retain exemplary educators whose classroom instruction is matched by meaningful contributions across school life. At TVS teaching extends well beyond the four walls of a classroom: it lives on the stage on the field in advisory circles on outdoor trips and in everyday conversations that shape character as much as intellect.

Picture yourself here: greeting students by name as they arrive with energy and questions; leading a lively discussion that invites multiple perspectives; coaching a team where effort and trust matter as much as the scoreboard; or walking alongside colleagues who are generous with ideas and quick to collaborate. Faculty are trusted as professionals encouraged to bring their full talents to the community. Innovation is welcomed. Curiosity is shared. Relationships matter.

Culture

TVS educators model resiliency flexibility and persistence-the spirit captured in our motto Per Aspera ad Astra (Through Difficulty to the Stars). We embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and we guide students to meet high expectations with confidence and integrity. Here teachers inspire not only through expertise but through care authenticity and a deep belief in each students ability to meet a worthy challenge.

TVS actively seeks diverse faculty and staff whose backgrounds reflect a global community. We are deeply committed to advancing equity inclusion and belonging as central to our mission and the life of the school.

The Athletic Departments mission is to inspire extraordinary students to become competent competitive character-based athletes. TVS coaches model hard work leadership and a growth mindset helping student-athletes learn and thrive both on and off the court.
